OPTimising Mothers' Own Milk supply in the neonatal unit – enhancing breast milk supply with Domperidone in mothers of preterm infants (OPTIMOM-D) [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Despite the provision of breastfeeding support, mothers of preterm infants often struggle to produce enough breast milk to meet their infants daily feeding requirements. Treatment with domperidone, a galactagogue, has been shown to be safe and effective in producing a modest increase in daily expressed breast milk volume, but the optimal dose to provide mothers is uncertain. This research aims to determine what the optimal dose is for increasing breast milk supply in mothers of preterm infants.
